STUDENT UNION BUILDING
FDU NOW will respond to the needs of
students on the Metropolitan Campus by
providing funds for a renovated Student
Union Building (SUB).

“The social component of campus life is
an important and integral part of the FDU
student experience,” said Metropolitan
Campus Provost Joseph Kiernan “A substantially
renovated Student Union Building
will provide a place where students can come
together in a relaxed setting to make new
friends, attend student organizational meetings
and social events, join informal study
groups and interact with students from other
countries and cultures.”

The Student Union Building at the Metropolitan
Campus will undergo significant renovations as a result
of the campaign.

The facility will feature
an auditorium
and an expanded ballroom that can accommodate
large events. In addition,
renovation plans call for more spaces for
expanded student programming and offices
for student clubs, the radio station and
The Equinox, the student newspaper.

“This new student facility,” said Kiernan,
“will meet the demand for an enhanced
and more vibrant co-curricular experience
for our students. In addition, the
renovated SUB will provide the University
with a major recruitment and marketing
tool for the Metropolitan Campus.”

Metropolitan Campus student Harvandna
Singh said, “The new Student Union will
make a tremendous difference in our lives.
We need a place where we can meet with
friends and other students to talk about assignments
and take a break between classes.”

“So much of what we learn,” Singh
added, “comes from talking with
our peers and professors outside the classroom
setting.”
